The combined reserves of these mines exceed one billion tons of high quality iron ore.An expansion project named Kolomela, which uses jig technology, is ramping up to reach a capacity of 13Mtpa in 2010. A new greenfields project will supply an additional 9Mtpa by 2013.Thabazimbi Mine’s product is sold exclusively to ArcelorMittal South Africa.In 2008 Kumba received a new order mining right to proceed with the Kolomela project and converted old order mining rights for the existing Sishen and Thabazimbi mines. Receiving these rights enabled the company to focus on the extraction of the resources and significantly strengthened business security.Kumba has been exporting iron ore to Europe and Japan since 1976 and has established enduring relations with the most significant steel mills in these countries. These customers regard Kumba as a strategic supplier of superior iron ore that enhances their furnaces’ efficiencies. The company was also a “first mover” into China by investing in the port of Qingdao in the early 1990s. This enabled Kumba to secure its customer base in Northern China and to take full advantage of the remarkable growth in the Chinese steel industry when production quadrupled during the commodities boom of 2000 – 2008.

La Mancha was created in September 2006 following the fusion of the gold assets of AREVA NC, a large French multinational, with the exploration properties held by La Mancha Resources Inc., a Canadian-based gold exploration company.With three mines in production and the positive conclusions of a feasibility study supporting the development of a fourth mine in Australia, La Mancha is well positioned to continue its production growth. For 2009, our attributable gold production should increase to up to 100,000 ounces of gold. Most of this increase in production will be fuelled by our Australian operations, as the Frog's Leg mine will be benefiting from a gain in momentum and a first full year of production. At our African mines, we expect improved performance from the new quartz line, while the Ity mine's efficiency should remain as strong as in 2008.La Mancha's shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol "LMA".

This was done by excavating small pits across the flood plain of the local drainages in the area. This work recovered over 40,000 oz of gold, mostly within these alluvial gravels.Loncor initiated an exploration program at Manguredjipa in August 2009 and at the Yindi prospect in Ngayu March 2010.
